Iranian Carnet Confusion!!!!
Hi All
Was wandering if any of you could help me out. My partner and I are leaving the UAE where we reside at the end of May for our year long RTW - what a fantastic feeling!
We went to the Arabian Touring Club in Dubai to sort out the carnet as we will need this for Iran but we are still a little on the confused side about costs and the actual process!
Basically, I have a 2007 BMW 650 Dakar and my partner has a 2008 KTM 990 Adventure. Can anyone give us an idea of what the deposit should be for these two bikes? The carnet is needed for 2 weeks and for Iran only. He quoted us as 30,000dhs each. Does this sound right? Obviously we want to put down as little as possible!
Second question -When we exit Iran, we will no longer require the carnet and so obviously want to get the deposit back. The AT Club informed us that we can only collect this money back and cancel the carnet in the UAE and not from Turkey (where we will be). We are not coming back to the UAE and they told us that we would therefore need a guarantor to retain the money with the original carnet document (with exit stamp from Iran). They also told us that the guarantor in the UAE would therefore need to make a deposit as well? Does this sound right? Is there any way of getting the money back if you are no longer coming back to the UAE? I guess we would FEDEX the document and the guarantor would take it to the ATC in Dubai? But does this mean the guarantor has to put the original deposit down even though the bikes are registered to us?
Your help is much appreciated
A confused Biker Chick!
